CVE-2016-6415-BenignCertain-Monitor

Re-implementation of VirtueSecurity's benigncertain-monitor. Doesn't have all the same payload options as the original, but replaces the bc-id binary with a better proof of concept by Ross Bradley that can be expanded on if necessary.

Credits:

• Original monitor written and maintained by VirtueSecurity at https://github.com/VirtueSecurity/benigncertain-monitor
• Proof of concept script used to replace the buggy "bc-id" binary is from Ross Bradley at https://github.com/ross-bradley/benign-certain

$ git clone https://github.com/3ndG4me/CVE-2016-6415-BenignCertain-Monitor.git
$ cd CVE-2016-6415-BenignCertain-Monitor
$ sudo docker build . -t benign-monitor
$ sudo docker run -it benign-monitor <host>

The service will continuously poll the vulnerable service, extract ascii strings from memory, store the strings in a local sqlite database, and show the most frequently observed strings:

Overview

This is a dockerized python script that continuously leaks memory of a target vulnerable to the NSA BENIGNCERTAIN Cisco exploit CVE-2016-6415.

The script polls the vulnerable service over time to identify probable passwords and other potentially sensitive information. This can be used to harvest actionable data over a period of time rather than just a proof of concept exploit.

TODO:

• Port exploit code to python3
• Expand arguments to passthru from the container to the exploit script for better option tweaking
• Optional: Expand payload options
